Louisiana raised. People shaped. Ready to serve.

John is an advocate, paralegal, entrepreneur, healthcare professional, husband, and 2028 presidential candidate whose public philosophy begins with a simple obligation: government must serve the people who fund it.

A life before politics

His story is not a story of privilege. It is a story of responsibility.

Born July 13, 1989, and raised in Louisiana, John describes learning work, responsibility, and household contribution from childhood. At age 19, he began advocacy work that would later expand into legal support, human rights activity, public records work, entrepreneurship, and community service.

He says those experiences taught him that policy is never merely paperwork. A delayed benefit, inaccessible court record, lost license, denied insurance claim, or unaffordable home can change the direction of a family's life.

Community listening, human rights principles, public accountability, and support for people confronting difficult systems.

Paralegal

Legal document preparation, procedural research, public records, investigations, and justice access within lawful professional boundaries.

Entrepreneur

Building service systems around economic participation, independent work, professional support, and practical infrastructure.

Student

Continued education in criminal justice, law related studies, public policy, healthcare systems, and leadership.

John and Markesha

Partnership behind the public work.

John and Markesha Badger are husband and wife, business partners, and advocates. Their shared story represents family, preparation, endurance, and the belief that leadership should remain connected to ordinary life.

Markesha previously served in campaign leadership and continues to support training and preparation while John's public work develops.

“Whether I am elected or not, I will dedicate my life to defending the dignity, safety, opportunity, and rights of the American people.”
